Notably, despite Russia's huge tank losses in Ukraine, it has not deployed the Armata there.

However, Russia's army has bought few of them, in part due to manufacturing difficulties.

If this sounds familiar, Russia's T-14 Armata, unveiled in 2015, also had an unmanned turret, a crew of three in the hull, and onboard drones. It is armed with six Switchblade 300 loitering munitions, known as 'kamikaze drones.' It also has an artificial-intelligence program - called 'Katalyst' - that can help the crew identify and prioritize targets, navigate, and predict future maintenance. The Abrams is a full-tracked, low-profile, land combat assault weapon enabling expeditionary Warfighters to dominate their adversaries through lethal firepower. It also has a Kongsberg RS6 remote-controlled weapon station with an XM914 30 mm cannon and a 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun.Īs befits a 21st-century tank design, the AbramsX has some cutting-edge features. The AbramsX retains a 120 mm cannon as its main armament but replaces the current gun with the lighter XM360 originally developed for the failed Future Combat System.
